Snapchat's Terms of Service set the rules for using the platform: by posting content — including to AI features — you give Snapchat and its partners a permanent, worldwide license to use that content, including your name and likeness, without paying you. If you have a dispute with Snapchat, you must typically resolve it through individual arbitration rather than a lawsuit or class action, though you can opt out in writing within 30 days. Snapchat's financial liability to you is capped at $100 or what you paid in the past year, and it can suspend or terminate your account for any reason.
This document establishes the contractual terms governing user access to Snapchat's Services, including the content licensing framework under which users grant Snap and its affiliates a worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use submitted content — including name, image, likeness, and voice — without compensation. The Terms impose a binding arbitration requirement with an individual-only claims restriction and a 30-day written opt-out window, and cap Snapchat's total aggregate liability at $100 or the user's prior 12 months of payments, whichever is greater, while excluding indirect, consequential, punitive, and similar damages entirely. AI Inputs and Outputs are classified as user-submitted content, subjecting them to the same licenses and user obligations as other content, and are provided without any warranties. Snapchat reserves broad enforcement discretion, including the right to restrict or terminate access for any reason, share account data with third parties including law enforcement based on its own safety determination, and update the Terms with reasonable advance notice, treating continued use as acceptance.
For an ordinary user, this document means that content you submit to Snapchat — including anything you send to AI features — is licensed to Snapchat, its affiliates, other users, and business partners on a worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, and perpetual basis, with no right to compensation. Snapchat makes no warranties about AI-generated outputs, and its total financial liability to you for any and all claims is limited to $100 or whatever you paid in the prior 12 months. If you wish to preserve your right to sue Snapchat in court rather than through individual arbitration, you must notify Snapchat in writing within 30 days of first becoming subject to the Arbitration Agreement.
